Chapter 641: The Root of All Evil

This may be the most boring shareholder meeting in the history of Yinuo Yaxing, and it has been very exciting in the past, but this time it was just a hasty end.

The main reason is that the shareholders sitting here today are no longer simply pursuing profits, but also pursuing money.

They have already made a lot of money, and what they are seeking now is stability, after all, in ancient times, merchants made a lot of money, which was a disturbing thing.

However, the imperial court is still targeting Yinuoyaxing, the tariff matter has just passed, and they are making a comeback, although Guo Dan can not care, but they are already a little uneasy in their hearts, which is undoubtedly worse.

This makes it difficult for them to calm down and enjoy the year.

Guo Dan is also very helpless about this, but he also understands that businessmen are still very afraid of officials these days, in fact, he is also afraid, but he is not afraid of those powerful people in the business world.

Just kidding, this is his BGM!

As soon as the sound was turned on, the strong smoke was extinguished.

No one expected that this shareholders' meeting would cause great repercussions in the outside world.

And mainly because of Guo Dan's disdain.

They even threatened to help each other.

What the?

This really angered the magnates in the capital, we are going to deal with you very seriously, it is already very face-saving for you, and you... But they look down on us like this.

If the tiger doesn't wield, you will treat us as sick cats!

That's fine.

We're going to give you a little bit of color.

On the third day after the end of the shareholders' meeting, a money bank called Guangtong opened in the capital.

There was no news or any publicity before, but it was very sensational, because there were so many people who went to congratulate him!

Among them are also the grandchildren of the Liu family.

"The old man comes to sit more often when he has time."

"Certainly, definitely, don't send it outside the staff, the old man will leave first."

"See you later."

"See you later."

Out of the gate of the bank, Liu Chengbian whispered: "Grandpa, didn't you say that opening a bank is tantamount to digging a grave, why does the Li family dare to open this bank?" ”

Liu Zongcheng said with a smile: "When will our Liu family be able to compare with the Li family." ”

The most bullish X Li family in the Ming Dynasty, of course, is the Empress Dowager Li's family, and now it is the most powerful relative.

The master behind this Guangtong Money Village is Wu Qinghou Li Gao, and the Empress Dowager Li has to be her younger brother.

It turned out that many ministers in the DPRK and China still wanted to find a businessman to open this money bank, but the wealthy businessmen in the capital refused for various reasons, because they thought that you old men had not fought Guo Dan in the use of national policies, so I would not be your cannon fodder.

Everyone felt that it was impossible to compete with Yinuo Money.

I don't know why, this Li Gao suddenly stood up and wanted to open this money bank.

Liu Chengbian said: "But if they don't make money, the Li family won't open this bank, and they just said that the handling fee charged for remitting money from their bank is half lower than that of Yinuo Bank, so why do they make money?" ”

Liu Zongcheng narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "We can't control this, but this is a good thing for us." ”

Shortly after Liu Zongcheng left, a carriage came and quietly came to the back alley.

There were two old men sitting in the car, it was Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue.

"Brother Shen, look, that's Guangtong Qianzhuang."

Wang Xijue pointed to a large doorway in the middle of the street.

Shen Shixing just glanced at it, and sighed, "Let's go." ”

After a short stop, the carriage departed. Wang Xijue in the car said: "Many ministers in the court, including Dongchang, Yuma Supervisor, and Master of Ceremonies, are very supportive of Wu Qinghou to open this money village. ”

Shen Shixing sneered: "They opened this money bank, it's not just as simple as trying to deal with Guo Dan!" ”

Wang Xijue nodded and said: "They instigated Li Gao to open this bank, mainly because Wu Qinghou is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Li, and even His Majesty does not dare to use Wu Qinghou, and then many officials can put some dirty silver in this bank." Not only that, but it is very likely that they will find a way to replace the role of Yinuo Bank in tariffs with Guangtong Bank in the future, and even use money banks to be responsible for the transfer of taxes and silver in various state capitals. ”

"If that's the case, then this place is bound to become the root of all evil!" Shen Shixing couldn't help but pat his thigh, if the country's money went to Guangtong Bank, it would be too convenient for the entire interest group to get up and down, and greatly weaken the power of the cabinet, and said: "The old man really hopes that Guo Dan can bring it down." ”

Do you want Guo Dan to solve it?

It can be seen that his heart is full of helplessness.

He really has no way to deal with Li Gao, the father and younger brother of the Empress Dowager Li are notoriously bastards, bastards for many, many years, his father enjoys his old age, and his younger brother is still living a very nourishing life, it can be seen that no one dares to provoke the Empress Dowager Li, including Wanli.

However, this is not actually the root of all evil, the real root of all evil is in the Li family.

"Wu Qinghou, congratulations, congratulations!"

I saw Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou walking into the door quickly, and bowed their hands to Li Gao, who rushed to greet them.

A few subordinates behind him walked forward carrying boxes of gifts.

"This little gift is not a tribute!" Zhang Whale smiled slightly.

"Oops! Duke, Commander Liu, you are really too out-of-this, you can come, that is the honor of my Li people, why do you need to bring gifts. Please come in, please come in. ”

Li Gao hurriedly invited Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou into the hall.

After some greetings, Zhang Whale said: "Wu Qinghou, your money bank is really wonderful, this can help our Dongchang and Jinyiwei better perform their tasks!" ”

Li Gao hurriedly asked, "What did the Governor say about this?" ”

Zhang Whale said with a smile: "The factory guards are performing tasks outside, and it is common for them to do this year or two, and sometimes they can't find anyone in the money, with your money, I only need to deposit their money in your bank, but they have their own vouchers to get it." ”

Li Gao laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and he arched his hand again and again: "Thank you for taking care of the Dugong, thank you for taking care of the Dugong." ”

Don't lose the head of the East Factory, the response is fast!

The fact that this money bank can be opened has nothing to do with Zhang Whale, it was arranged by the emperor's relatives and some ministers in the court, but Zhang Whale reacted immediately and immediately gave a generous gift.

Zhang Whale attaches great importance to his relatives, and mainly Wanli is very close. The imperial concubine's father, Zheng Chengxian, and Li Gao are actually very hostile, because Li Gaogen looks down on Zheng Chengxian and thinks that he is a little deflated three, and he can't even look down on the imperial concubine.

But Zhang Whale was enveloped on both sides.

Dongchang is just the beginning, and under the impetus of this interest group, more finances will be linked to the bank.

And this is really thanks to Guo Dan, it was Guo Dan who first linked Qianzhuang and Xinxing to national tariffs, which made them think, this is indeed a good idea, why don't we open it, why is it cheap Guo Dan.

Why is Guangtong Qianzhuang's low handling fee is such a reason, their real target is not businessmen, but the finances of the imperial court, of course, by the way, it can also be aimed at Guo Dan.

After this Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou left, Zhang Cheng also immediately came to congratulate him.

These palace ministers must curry favor with Empress Dowager Li.

However, after Zhang Cheng left here, he did not go back to the palace, but quietly came to Yinuo Qianzhuang.

"Prime Minister, are you here today because of Guangtong Qianzhuang?"

Guo Dan poured Zhang Cheng a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile.

Zhang Cheng said: "You already know. ”

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "I don't want to know, but from the morning to now, people have kept coming to tell me the news." ”

Zhang Cheng said: "It's a shame that you are still laughing out loud, you are really in big trouble this time, we see that you are really a little blind now, you hold a shareholders' meeting, hold a good meeting, why are you going to provoke them?" ”

Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "Where did I provoke it, it was those shareholders who were asking, I just said that it doesn't matter, the better the other party's development, the happier I will see." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Zhang Cheng snorted: "The other party is serious about dealing with you, but you don't care so much, can that person not be angry?" ”

Guo said lightly: "Prime minister, then you teach me, what should I say!" ”

“......!”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "It's useless to say these things now, but what you said at the shareholders' meeting will definitely be realized. ”

Odd! He didn't come to me for so many things before, why did he care about me today.

Guo Dan suddenly became suspicious, although Zhang Cheng had a good relationship with him, Zhang Cheng still kept a certain distance from him on the surface, and he didn't want to offend the ministers and magnates of the DPRK and China because of Guo Dan, and he had never come to Guo Dan on the matter of armament.

But he was so concerned about this matter, he came to Guo Dan on the day he opened the door, and it wasn't Wanli who asked him to come.

Not good! Is he going to choose a side, it must be like this, he thinks that the current situation is very unfavorable to me, this is not good, I must stabilize this limb man, otherwise, I will not have a single supporter in the palace.

Guo Dan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! ”

Zhang Cheng glanced at Guo Dan and said, "It doesn't matter? How? Do you have a way to deal with Wu Qinghou, don't blame our family for not reminding you, if you want to do something to Wu Qinghou, the Queen Mother will not let you go. ”

"How dare I do it to Wu Qinghou, Prime Minister, I am afraid of what you say!" Guo Dan was sincerely afraid.

Zhang Cheng asked, "Then you don't care. ”

Guo Dan tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Prime minister, the main role of this money bank is to be responsible for the circulation of silver, so there must be silver circulation first." ”

Zhang Cheng was very confused when he heard this, and said, "Is there silver circulating?" Why don't we understand it, do you let Guangtong Money Bank have no silver circulation? ”

"Even if I could, I wouldn't dare do it!"

Guo Dan smiled and said, "It's just that how much silver do I have now?" Inside, you should know that many places can't promote a whip law, and the reason is that the local people don't have money! ”

"Then aren't you ...... too!"

At this point, Zhang Cheng suddenly looked at Guo Dan with wide eyes.

Where is the most silver?

Isn't it overseas?

He knew about the overseas plan, but he didn't know the details later.

Guo smiled lightly: "Only when there is silver in circulation, can the money village prosper, no matter how much money is tossed, that's the case, Prime Minister, don't you say?" ”

"That's right."

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "No wonder you can still sit still." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, I feel bored when I earn this domestic silver." ”
